Writing that evokes passion and is written with passion. That's honesty. That's why I always loved reading Audre Lord's post colonial contemplations. Thanks for the picture of her. I don't think I ever actually saw one. She was a remarkable woman.SagaciousHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09511441325695460501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-73105157371266694792008-06-30T19:31:00.000-05:002008-06-30T19:31:00.000-05:00Looking forward to part 2 as well.

It depends on your definition of "truth" and what it represents to you.<BR/><BR/>I remember Langston, Countee, Claude, Zora and Nella Larson. All great, all speaking their "truths." It's a very personal thing and the only truth I believe in is my own, though I may respect others.Lenoxavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17146647934577010384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-28030734695895710812008-06-30T18:54:00.000-05:002008-06-30T18:54:00.000-05:00Looking forward to part two....."The evil that men...Looking forward to part two.....<BR/><BR/>"The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interrred with their bones."
